Contractor Problems in Texas: Complaints and Your Options

Short answerIf a contractor job goes wrong in Texas, here is what we could confirm on official pages: where to file a complaint, contract and cancellation rules. Each item links to its source. Keep your contract, payments and photos.

Where to file a complaint

For licensed fields TDLR regulates, including air conditioning and refrigeration and electricians, submit a complaint online or mail the paper form linked on the page. Source

Contract and cancellation rules

The Attorney General says Texas law gives you a right to cancel covered door-to-door sales within three business days. It applies when a merchant solicits and you agree to buy away from their place of business, for more than $25 of goods or services or more than $100 of real estate. Certain sales are not covered.
